Dude I haven't gone to a thrift store since I was a kid and the only reason I went then was for school clothes. My girlfriend shops at Goodwill for cheap stuff for fun, so one day I tried it and duuudddeee!!!... It's a genius idea. As long as you only buy things you need, you can come away saving hundreds of dollars each trip.
I got this barely used Casio Electric Piano that goes for 200$ (used)
online and I only paid 12 bucks for it. It has hundreds of songs it can play and teach you to play. It has a mic and a place to hook up studio headphones in.
Abby took piano lessons as a child and wanted to start back playing/learning. With the holidays and birthdays coming up, there is just no way our budget would permit her to get something of this quality to play on.
I got a brand new, still in the box, 100$ toaster oven for 4 dollars my friend.
Brand new coffee pot, Got it for 3 bucks.
But you can end up buying a lot of stuff for cheap just because it's a good deal, but if you don't have a practical use for it then it will become clutter or trash So, watch out for that for sure.
I would just set a 10-20 dollar limit and make that work.
And it's also a perfect time to take those old clothes you have and put them to good use. Donate them!!!
At first, I thought it was a scam for them to sell something I gave away, but it makes sense when you think about it.
The only way they can sell these items at such a low price is to get them for free, to begin with. They also help recycle people's old belonging.
The less trash the better.
I wish you "Goodwill hunting" my dude!!
